Shawnrenee is a fine art/commercial photographer who is based in Detroit. She believes that…

“Photographs are a glimpse of documented histories within a frame. The camera holds time still so the viewer can escape their own reality. The purpose of my photography is to focus attention on overlooked social matters, reveal that which is not considered beautiful, and provide stimulating opportunities to connect.

The images are simplistic yet symbolic. My eye behind the viewfinder consciously captures the world in all its glory and flaws. My inspiration comes from building and sustaining relationships within a purposeful space. When I photograph objects and people in their environments, performing their daily duties, I gain a deeper understanding of the world around me.”
